Airy/Creamy/Simple Chic Nursery
Design Inspiration
The moment I found out we were having a baby I spent hours upon hours on Pinterest looking for inspiration.I had my heart set on a baby boy but once I found out I was having a girl, I couldn't have been more excited. I already had her name picked out before she was ever planned. I knew I wanted to use my late grandmother's name Judith but didn't want it as a first name so Lauren Judith is what I came up with & seemed elegant enough for a little southern belle. Elegant & simple were the two things that kept coming to mind when I thought about the room my little girl would spend most of her time in. I found and fell in love with a giraffe & lamb stuffed animal & my inspiration spun off of that.

Advice
Don't stress too much! I stressed SO much about making it perfect & it wasn't until I quit stressing that it actually came together.. She was already born when I picked the dresser out after buying one online and having to return before it got off the delivery truck because it was broken.
